My jaws are still aching from the effects of last night's laughter. It's so good to be back after a year. I've done all my usual hangout things - New Yorker, Landmark, Beach, CCD, Mocha, etc., and I'm ready for repeats. Any new places worth a visit?
I thought Madras had changed a lot since I had left, but it turns out I was wrong. Yesterday at the beach was a good example - I was there, as is my usual wont, for 5 hours. Aravind, Fatman & I walked up and down the Promenade at least 20 times, seeking to fulfil what I term 'the probability rule' - the probability of running into someone I (or we) know tends to one. It is, of course, dependent on how long one is there, but it's usually within the first 15-20 min. that we run into someone.
Fatman, that fraud, refused to introduce us to his Machan gang (of NUS infamy). Apparently the members of this cabal suffix 'Machan' to the end of their every statements, such as, 'Poolu vettiduvein machan.' Of course, Aravind and I were trying desperately to upset the ship and show the 'machans' what a fraud Fatman was. Sadly, we didn't.
Ah, my writing has begun to suck even more. I blame it on the slightly slow cursor.

Back from the oblivion.
eep. New Yorker? you aren't gujju, are you?
chari -
I hope to return for more. Watch this space.
bobo -
If only you studied in the US (or other areas where Gujus congregate), you'd know how much that hurts. I'm wounded. *bleeds deeply*
Also, New Yorker is a good restaurant, man. Despite catering to Gujus - come on, that's a hallmark of a good place.
hey, i have gujjus here. we're extremely cosmo.
and, it's not that it caters to gujju. when i get an enchilada in gujju gravy.....
